Age of Conquest Reborn

Major Xiao Zhao, who had obtained the temporary command of the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, obviously did not want these gunboats to ruin his plan. In his opinion, although the warships in his fleet were old and dilapidated, the power of the naval guns was not what he wanted.

What the small-tonnage gunboats can withstand, "In trying to use gunboats to intercept the impact of our Imperial Japanese Navy fleet, the China commander is either extremely arrogant or mentally retarded!" Major Xiao Zhao thought coldly.

However, the sneer at the corner of Major Xiao Zhao's mouth had not dissipated. There was a scene that made the muscles on the cheeks of this naval major who was determined to fight uncontrollably twitch. The more than sixty gunboats of the independent division fleet,

They were originally lined up in a straight formation, rushing towards each other, but just when they were about to enter the range of the naval gun fire, they suddenly made a neat U-turn, drawing beautiful arcs on the sea, and seemed to be about to turn around.

Run back?

Major Xiao Zhao looked puzzled. What were those Chinese people doing? Are they here to demonstrate? "Damn! Damn Chinese people!" Major Xiao Zhao cursed fiercely.

However, what happened next quickly gave him the answer he wanted. The speedboats of the independent division fleet did not run back, but turned into a fleet facing him with their hulls. Immediately afterwards, a wave

A tongue of flame sprayed out from the opponent's gunboat, and immediately, a heart-stopping "chirp!" scream came from the sea, and the sunny sky was immediately filled with ballistic trajectories.

"Hani?" All the Japanese officers and sailors asked in confusion. Naval battles are always a duel between naval guns and naval guns. How can it be fought like this? What weapons did the Chinese gunboats use?

There was no time for the Japanese officers and sailors to figure it out. The hail-like rockets instantly enveloped the Japanese fleet. Perhaps, one or two rockets could not do anything to a warship of several thousand tons. Although it was old, a dozen rounds could

What about hundreds of rounds?

Major Xiao Zhao's command ship, because it rushed to the front, became the first target to be taken care of by rockets. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" More than a dozen rockets landed on the deck of the warship, exploding into balls and rolling around.

Fireballs of thick smoke and shrapnel roared in all directions. The Japanese sailors on the gun positions became targets of indiscriminate attacks. Their bodies were torn apart by shrapnel, and they fell to the deck screaming.

The gunboats of the independent division fleet prepared naval warfare "Thunder" rocket launcher shells, which were specially designed by the Dingbian Special Equipment Research Institute for the needs of naval warfare. In addition to increasing the range and accuracy, the rocket shells were also specially designed.

Armor-breaking ability. In addition, incendiary agents are added. After the explosion, not only the broken shrapnel kills the enemy, but also causes damage to the enemy warships. The burning flames can even burn through steel plates. It is also particularly difficult to extinguish.

This is the trump card in the hands of Fleet Commander Tang Qiuquan, and it is also the reason why he dares to use gunboats to attack warships. Unfortunately, the junk warship commanded by Major Xiao Zhao became the target of the "Thunder" rocket launcher.

Along with the huge explosion, thick smoke and flames rose into the sky. Major Xiao Zhao's command ship shook violently, like a drunken man. Several rockets hit the position near the command module, roaring.

The shrapnel took away the sexual properties of several staff members around Major Xiao Zhao.

Major Xiao Zhao was lucky. A piece of shrapnel took away half of his ear. However, at this moment, the Imperial Japanese Navy Major could not care about the pain. His face was ugly as he saw balls of flames burning in his chest.

The command ship burned fiercely.

"Damage control team! Put out the fire immediately, turn on the engine, and maintain the fastest speed to attack!" Major Xiao Zhao issued a series of orders, but no one around him agreed. He turned back in horror and looked around. In the control tower, only one person was alive.

He was dead, and on the deck in front of him, his own soldiers were littered with corpses. Not only that, all communication with other warships had been cut off.

Rows of rockets, like hail, covered the Japanese fleet. On the sea, water columns rose into the sky. The Japanese warships were shrouded in thick smoke and flames. These Japanese warships, which were on fire, still continued to rush forward.

However, he had lost the ability to control independently and had only inertia. Major Xiao Zhao watched helplessly as a row of huge cannonballs with trailing flames quickly enlarged in front of his eyes. Then, he himself was swallowed up by the violent explosion.

More than fifty minutes later, the sea became calm, and not even a single Japanese warship could be seen. What ended these junks were a few torpedoes, and the independent division fleet had no interest in capturing these old warships.

"Well, that's right, fifty-three minutes!" Tang Qiuquan looked at his watch, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Next, it's time for the escort fleet to come on stage. Xi Guo, order the carrier-based aircraft units to be ready to take off for combat at any time!

"

The Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet was delisted. It did not even come close to the independent division's troop carrier formation. Under the all-round bombardment of rocket shells, these Japanese officers and sailors who charged with suicidal thoughts could not even escape.

There is no hope,

From beginning to end, the main battleships and carrier-based aircraft of the escort fleet did not take action. The two fast gunboat brigades perfectly solved the problem. The encounter on the Shedao Islands was just an episode. For the sea-crossing combat troops,

No impact at all.

With the hope of death, hundreds of fighter jets and bombers rushed out to kill the independent division's sea-crossing troop transport formation. On the Bohai Sea, Major General Haneda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Air Force, came with murderous intent. However, he was still there.

When he didn't see the blue sea, he was intercepted and killed by a fighter group of the Independent Division Aviation Force in the airspace south of Fengtian.

When a group of Independent Division fighter jets appeared in the sky full of morning sun, even Major General Haneda, who didn't take his own life seriously, felt his scalp numb and the sweat all over his body was exploding.

Major General Haneda had no way of knowing why the fighter group of the Independent Division intercepted his own route so accurately. This was also second. What made Major General Haneda's eyes go straight was that the fighter group of the Independent Division was so large that it was terrifying.

, according to his own estimation, the number of Chinese fighter jets should be more than double that of the mixed fleet under his command. Moreover, the opponent is all fighter jets. As for his own formation, there are also more than a hundred bombers loaded with ammunition mixed in.

, how to fight this battle?

Major General Haneda's eyes immediately became bloodshot, "Attention, formation, all fighter planes, immediately move forward to meet the enemy, entangle the independent division's fighters, fight as hard as possible, cover the bomber formation's raid, the empire's air warriors, come out with your

I have the courage to attack the inferior China people for the sake of the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" Major General Haneda shouted at the top of his lungs. Finally, he did not forget to cheer up his fighter pilots!

It's easy to say, and the tactical deployment is considered appropriate, but the reality is not like that. The desperate Japanese fighter jets, showing a fearless posture, rushed up, and in an instant, they were surrounded by the independent division fighter group with superior numbers.

Among them, bravery can't solve any problem. The performance of the fighters of both sides is basically similar, but the air combat experience of the pilots is not even a bit different!

What Major General Haneda's fleet encountered was the unit of Commander Le Yiqin of the Southern Flying Group. They had been in the south for many years and had fought against the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force and the British Air Force in India, and they had won the battle. All the pilots

, all in the tragic scenes

In the battle, the one who stood out was that he had rich experience in air combat. No one in the world's air force at that time could match him. In addition, the person commanding them was the so-called "air warrior", who defeated the Japanese and British, including the Soviets.

The invincible General Le Yiqin.

The combat effectiveness of such an aviation force can be imagined. Colonel He Luming, commander of the escort fighter group air formation and commander of the first fighter regiment of the Southern Flying Group, saw the Japanese fighter group and put on a desperate posture, full of murderous intent.

Come, he grinned helplessly at that time, "Damn it, the little devil hasn't made any progress. He's doing this again, can't he use some other tricks?" He muttered to himself.

"Everyone in the formation, pay attention. The little Japs want to fight hard. It's an old routine. Every regiment knows how to fight! It's an old rule!" Colonel He Luming said in the formation communication channel, seemingly casually.

Since it was an old rule, several commanders of the fighter regiments understood it at that time, and immediately separated a third of their fighter jets and rushed towards the Japanese bomber group. Most of the fighter jets immediately found the Japanese fighter jets and began to entangle them.

When the fight started, the clear roar of the machine gun resounded in the clear sky, the ballistic trajectory pierced the sky, and the air combat battlefield suddenly entered a bloody battle of hand-to-hand combat.

Major General Haneda piloted a fighter jet and rushed to the front. Immediately, he realized how reckless and ridiculous his actions were. Around his plane, there were lights and shadows of Independent Division fighter jets flying up and down, and bullets were everywhere.

The pale white ballistic trajectory streaking through the sky, Major General Haneda's fighter's sight had just locked on an Independent Division fighter. Before it could enter the effective range, his own plane was attacked by an Independent Division fighter from behind. Moreover, it was still

Two.

It was He Luming and his wingman who grabbed hold of Major General Haneda's plane. He Luming was at high altitude and could identify this unique Japanese fighter jet among the Japanese fighter jets at a glance, "It must be the little devil's air commander!"

He concluded, then, he called his wingman, and while Major General Haneda was busy trying to shoot down the fighter in front, he made a beautiful glide from high altitude, and immediately put Major General Haneda's fighter in the sight.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please break away from the attack immediately. Your plane has been bitten by a China fighter!" Major General Haneda's wingman shouted loudly. At the same time, the wingman rolled sideways, and then used the excellent maneuverability of the Zero fighter to turn the nose of the aircraft.

, pressing towards He Luming and his wingmen, with an obvious intention, even if it was one-on-two, to free the Commander from danger.
